Jose Abreu

NickyMitch93's alter ego thinks that Cespedes winning a gold glove makes him a great defensive outfielder.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) Wasn't Alexei the opening day CF for the White Sox in 2008? Yes

TNT Bulls strike again

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) My sources say it was Gino's East. SOURCE: #WhiteSox attempting to make Cespedes try Giordano's before confirming his distaste for deep dish pizza.

There's never a set list of contenders for a given player. Everything is dynamic. There are more than 3-4 teams who can sign Cespedes.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) Okay, seriously. What is your deal? The Toews line is a shell of what it was with Saad on it. And the defense runs three players deep. Yet we have the third most points in hockey

Hope they pay him enough where they wouldn't be able to afford Cespedes though. Given the OF market, Span may not get that much

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) With the roster as constructed now, if Avi is on the bench, who is starting in the OF? With the roster as constructed now, Avi Garcia is your 3rd OF.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) i was once in a realgm Amare Stoudemire trade thread that went 400 pages or so and ended with no Bulls trade happening at all. And the 2014 Carmelo Anthony threads... there were 30 threads 100 pages each. And it didn't happen. 3000 pages.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) i feel like something is going to happen today part 22

Welp, a pretty rumor-less day

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Where'd you see this at? That would give him a sack every 47.4 snaps. Obviously things probably wouldn't play out this way, but if he played the same number of snaps as Watt at that pace, he would have had 20 sacks. The Bears' twitter account

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Here's a fun fact.... JJ Watt had a sack every 54.17 play. Lamarr Houston had one every 54.14. Houston just got credit for a sack from Sunday, giving him a season total of 8. That may bolster that stat.

QUOTE (shoeless_joe21 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 05:31 PM) He meant running from LaRoche. +1

It's Merkin. He's been wrong about almost everything this offseason.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) I dont believe this because it doesnt begin with "Source:..." raBBit, what are you hearing? Don't worry, his source was NickyMitch93. Much better than raBBit, for sure.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) Rumors swirling that Gordon ultimately chose to resign with KC instead of Chicago because the Cespedes thread on Soxtalk had more pages than the Gordon thread. Good. Our plan worked guys.

As long as Abreu doesn't bat second anymore, I'm good

*waits for someone to call one of these pitchers a "low risk, high reward" guy*

QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) Wasnt this the guy who said Cespedes signed a week ago? Yes.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) Why? It isn't a win now year. If anything, the sox get Danks and LaRoche off the books next year so they will have more salary room. This could be the building year for following year. It could be a win now year but it doesn't need to be if the price becomes outrageous. I don't think we would have made the Frazier deal if we didn't plan on competing this year. Plus, the FO really doesn't want to continue wasting prime years of Sale/Quintana/Abreu.

Write Sox ‏@WriteSox 56m56 minutes ago Don’t know why everyone’s worried. Twitter said a few weeks ago Cespedes had already signed that 6-year $126 million deal with the Sox. shoutout NickyMitch93

Nevermind, I see it's coming out in a few months.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) So twitter really is allowing longer tweets. They are? I don't see it
